0:08
Hi, this is Charlie. This is Jeff and this is Tanya.
0:12
Welcome back. The final well.
0:16
Final, final. Buck.
0:18
Pool results. Cast results RN.
0:22
Like final or just final of the 2025 season 25?
0:25
Are you making an announcement here?
0:26
This is it. This is it.
0:29
Yeah, just for this year, every year is always up for grabs,
0:33
right? If I'm going to do it again or
0:34
not this. Time of year is, you know, touch
0:36
and go. A lot of stuff happenings in the
0:39
behind the scenes. Yeah, and it's it's, it's been a
0:43
hot minute. Keep up with this because
0:44
there's just a lot to do and we're busy.
0:49
It's been a hot minute. When did we last do one?
0:52
Like holiday ish? Yeah.
0:55
It was holiday Ash. I mean, I think now we can just
0:57
kind of go through the final scene.
0:58
We pulled all the nice prizes. Yeah.
1:01
Upcoming parties, a lot of things to talk about today.
1:06
Where do you want to start? I think we should start with the
1:08
winners, right? Sure.
1:10
Like, well, First off, let's just let actually let me back
1:13
up. I'm going to blind side you with
1:15
one here. How did you feel about the 2025
1:18
season now that it's over? It's a great season, a lot of
1:21
good quality, dear, a lot of good numbers coming in, a lot of
1:25
new names. If you look at the top couple,
1:28
same names again, you still got those certified killers that are
1:32
in the top five every year. I just think they got good
1:35
property. That's what it is.
1:37
I don't want to take anything away from them as.
1:39
Hunters. They're really good hunters.
1:42
But that's cool, I think even the best hunters would admit if
1:45
you got the right spot. Oh, sure.
1:46
That's got a lot to do with it. You betcha.
1:49
And I was shooting bucks every year.
1:50
I never felt like I was that good.
1:52
Yeah, it's the old horseshoe, you know where type thing.
1:57
So how about for you personally? How did you feel about the?
2:01
Season I had a really good season person I I saw a lot of
2:04
really nice deer. I could never get shots on them
2:07
like within 25 yard. They were just behind stuff.
2:10
I couldn't get clean shots at it.
2:13
So some from really far away, like during Muzzler I saw a real
2:15
big one. You know, it would have probably
2:17
placed in the top five, just it was dark.
2:20
It was the past shooting time, but I saw it out in the field.
2:22
It was like, oh wow, that was neat.
2:26
So I'm excited. I think they all made it though.
2:28
The ones behind my house made it and that one out in my lease and
2:31
Coleman made it through so and there was a couple other nice
2:33
ones. So next year should be super
2:35
exciting. I think it's going to be super
2:39
exciting overall for everybody because of some of the deer that
2:42
some guys had on camera that made it through are going to be
2:44
I think next year could be really something.
2:48
Assuming they're. Surviving if they survive the
2:50
winter. That's happening right now
2:51
outside, yeah. Or a car.
2:56
Yeah, I'm just hard. I mean, this cold is pretty
2:58
rough, but that's there's not much snow.
2:59
So they should be OK at least around by me down in the
3:03
northeastern Wisconsin. I think up by, you know, central
3:07
Wisconsin is pretty snow covered where it's hard for them to get
3:10
the food, you know, pawn away and browsing on cedar trees.
3:14
I mean, what else do they eat up there, you know, so.
3:18
This took a dark turn. Did let's bring him.
3:21
I did. Look, our last episode was
3:24
December 4th. So it was right after the gun
3:26
season. Yeah, I was.
3:27
Going to say it's been a while since we've done this, yeah.
3:29
It wasn't kind of fell off. It wasn't November.
3:31
Like I said, it was December. So we did better than we
3:35
thought. All right, the same, the same
3:38
top five, though. I think we had a little shake up
3:40
there at the end. We finally had a guy score his
3:43
deer, which we knew it was going to be pushing it, and that was
3:46
Brendan Beck. He came in at 5th place with a
3:49
score of 139 and 5/8. That was a real nice deer.
3:53
And click on it once to see what the story was.
3:57
Yeah, that's the one. He had the nice picture with
3:59
Justin in there. And that food plot is just
4:01
amazing so. Colorful.
4:05
Picturesque. He's got that in Jackson County
4:07
on their property there. Yeah, those guys have some deer.
4:09
Justin has some real big ones on camera yet.
4:11
I mean, these are nice deer, but he's got a real big bastard
4:14
running around up there. That thing made it through.
4:17
Yeah, that food plot looks like the dudes that I watch on
4:19
YouTube, like the professionals that yeah, that looks like.
4:24
You know what's interesting, I was asking talking about that,
4:26
you know what he does, this new technology that we have
4:29
nowadays, he typed in the soil type, all the stuff that where
4:32
he's at and AI came up with what he should be planting, what
4:35
doing with the soil and that's a lot of the things that he does.
4:39
It's kind of interesting. Can I back up and ask how do you
4:41
figure out your soil type? I mean, you can do a soil test,
4:44
it's like 50 bucks. You can you send in a godsmill
4:47
of it and. Oh, I didn't know if it was like
4:49
a Google image. That and I think they know like
4:52
where you are located on your map, you know what type of soil
4:55
it is. Is this a Justin Beck move or a
4:59
Brendan Beck? I think it's Justin.
5:01
I make whoever else he's. I guess I'm wondering if we
5:04
could get him on a podcast. At some point.
5:05
Let's talk about it in the offseason.
5:07
There's. There's a few ways.
5:09
Because that's something people can do, spring, summer.
5:12
Because I was talking about that we have our lease and we can go
5:14
in and put food plots and we kind of found out we can do
5:17
whatever we want on it. And I'm going to start trying to
5:19
do some stuff on there. You can actually upload a map
5:23
and I think it'll tell you where to put them and stuff.
5:25
It's kind of neat. So it's interesting.
5:29
It's where you can take this. So do you think the deer could
5:31
do that too? And like, no better ways to hide
5:35
from AI. No, I don't know Tonya.
5:38
They can't read. It can dictate.
5:42
It can dictate, yes, I'm, you know.
5:45
We're trying to persuade them to come to different areas.
5:47
I'm just thinking, you know, give everybody an even even play
5:53
here. So Congrats, Brendan, 5th place,
5:57
I believe that brings you 200 bucks.
6:00
Next up in line we got here Logan Mackey.
6:06
He had a successful season. This deer especially, it came in
6:10
at what was the score on that one?
6:12
46138 and two eights. Oh, that's right, because that
6:18
was hit his growth. Score.
6:19
Then he also got one down in Kentucky, too.
6:21
You just. He had a really good year.
6:22
This is a very pretty buck. I'm not sure.
6:24
What the hell Did he get this deer again?
6:26
Public land O'Connell County. Yeah, it's not too far from the
6:32
area. Oh, I was reading what he had
6:34
put, that's why. I'm noticing, wait, this is
6:36
something I mean, I don't want to go on too much of A tangent
6:40
here, but I'm working on, well, Jeff already put some really
6:42
good work into a new all time list page and I'm kind of trying
6:47
to take that and run with it. And as I'm looking at this an
6:51
interesting thing, if we could get this statistic, I don't it
6:54
would take a lot of work to get it when they got the deer
6:57
because I'm noticing on these first two, it's very green, it's
7:00
very early. Season, this year especially, a
7:03
lot of these deer came in early season, like before the rut
7:06
started and they kind of caught him off guard.
7:08
And I think if you these, I think that is really September
7:13
22nd around that time because you were able to keep up with
7:18
them more during the beginning than when all of a sudden it
7:22
was. Yeah, like during deer hunting
7:24
when they fall rot. I mean, there's 25 updates I got
7:26
to do and, you know, try to keep up with it and just kind of fall
7:29
behind. But yeah, that would be
7:31
interesting to see the date in the month kind of go back and
7:35
add that into the spreadsheet. And you can on the spreadsheet
7:38
you can filter it out the counties and you know, whatever
7:40
States and what type of weapon I've been trying to filter with.
7:44
And that's why I asked you, does Bulwark on?
7:47
Yeah, we should maybe go back and try to.
7:49
Throw Google. It'd be kind of cool to ask.
7:52
To also put were you in a tree stand or in a ground blind,
7:55
stuff like that. It'd be kind of neat to filter
7:57
it out. Yeah, it'd be a lot of work to
7:59
go back and do, but I just another reason to call everybody
8:01
again. I almost feel that we should
8:04
have some sort of an electronic form that where they could put
8:09
some of that in there and upload their photos.
8:12
So it yeah, it'd be. Easier we could make it so that
8:15
then people will still just text Jeff.
8:18
I understand. That no, it's.
8:20
But at least then we need to have an understanding of some of
8:23
the questions they can text him afterwards.
8:26
Some of the guys will. I mean, what do you want to call
8:30
it, Ernest? Ernest Hemingway's writing these
8:32
stories. Like Casey had a nice story.
8:35
Somebody just recently put one in that was really good story.
8:39
Who was that one? It was like a really well, well
8:42
written. Yeah, I know.
8:43
I can't remember who it was. I know what you're talking
8:45
about. We didn't really read a lot of
8:47
the stories this year because we would all of the sudden have to.
8:51
We'd have to power. Exactly once a month and it was
8:54
like 40 of them. Yeah, well, you guys can keep
8:58
talking. I'll find that it was pretty
9:00
interesting. Well, here's another.
9:02
So third place on the list is another early September,
9:05
mid-september. I'm sorry, I got to go back.
9:08
The guy was Brady Weedman. He had a really nice article.
9:11
He started. It starts off.
9:13
It was a crisp afternoon. That's when you know it's going
9:15
to be a good one. When they talk about the leaves
9:18
crunching under foot. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
9:22
Maybe we could have it read to us.
9:24
So Logan, I believe you get 300 bucks for 4th place.
9:29
Nice job. Next on the list, 3rd place, we
9:32
had Kyle rush another. September.
9:36
Fairly, yeah. It's a very early buck, Very
9:38
green. Nice buck of hell held there.
9:41
God, he's a nice deer. Yeah.
9:43
Smiling too. Yeah, and he's coming to the
9:46
party, he just replied. RSVPD.
9:48
I can't wait to meet some of these people in.
9:50
Person more people from around that.
9:52
I know it's hard to get to this side of the state if you're from
9:54
Altoona and all these other locations, but it's a good time.
9:58
You know, just take the next day off.
10:01
Yeah, sure. Shano County.
10:06
Kyle is a service tech working out our Wisconsin Rapids
10:08
location just north of Burnham. What he got this thing?
10:14
That's kind of Deer Central, right?
10:15
Yeah, it's about that's a, that's a hotbed for deer, that's
10:18
for sure. Nice buck. 145 and 5/8 it
10:22
scored. Do you not see the deer smiling?
10:28
The deer is smiling at me right now.
10:31
Yeah, nice deer Kyle will be getting 400 bucks.
10:38
Nice job, Kyle. #2. #2 got the old staple.
10:43
Mike Weinfurter seems to be in these every year.
10:45
Another mid-september. Yeah, early season Buck, and he
10:50
also got a nice one during the gun.
10:51
It didn't crack the top five, but I think that one scored 136.
10:54
That one's got a lot of that's that's got Longhorns.
10:57
Brow tines, Beautiful brow tines.
10:58
I love the brow tines on bucks like this.
11:00
It's let's see how long they were.
11:04
Just under 7 or 6, between 6:00 and 7:00 inches.
11:07
Pretty long brow tines. They look longer actually in
11:09
that picture. Yeah, the square sheets are
11:13
always, always. I try to put the square sheets
11:15
once I get them in there. This one came in at 148 and 4
11:18
eighths gross. Remember, we just Nets are for
11:22
fishing. We just do gross scores on these
11:24
pools. Someday I think somebody will
11:27
come up with a way with a different scoring system.
11:30
We always talk about that like the total surface area of the
11:33
antler or whatever. You know, it'd be kind of neat.
11:37
Alright, Regardless, nice job. MM is out of Rapids.
11:40
He's a steam fitter. Yeah, this is not Mike's first
11:44
appearance. Who on the list?
11:47
Yeah, and then finally we got the the old winner, another
11:52
early season deer out of Kansas all year long, Luke Dubois.
11:57
Nearly 10 inch difference between 1st and 2nd.
12:00
Yeah, grand total of 158 and 2 eighths inches.
12:04
And I remember when he brought that in here, it's like it's
12:05
just so cool to see a deer in the 160 caliber range.
12:09
It's just a different beast how big the frame was.
12:14
Yeah, that looks like like a Coke can.
12:18
Yeah, well, just the main beams. It had everything going for it.
12:22
It was just a real nice deer. I think we got a picture of him
12:25
in the office. One main beam was just under 25
12:27
inches, then he had 11, almost a 12 inch G2 and just an 11 inch
12:36
G2 on the other side real line. The long time, the time length
12:39
is what got him here. The the mass and everything.
12:42
That's just pretty typical on a bigger buck like this.
12:45
Nothing in the five inch rains all fours and threes.
12:49
But yeah, grand total 158 and two eights.
12:52
Beautiful buck, grand prize. I just put in the order for the
12:57
plaques. I'm hoping to have them done by
12:59
the party next Thursday. So today's Wednesday, the week
13:03
before the party. So we got up just over a week.
13:05
Josh Jean card is my my guy over there.
13:08
He's going to bring it over to the whoever else does.
13:10
I think Aaron Blake that helps with that and whoever does that.
13:15
Much appreciated that the tweet makes these plaques.
13:17
They're very nice plaques. They are.
13:20
So yeah. They have been on Big Blue as
13:22
pictures throughout this whole season.
13:25
That's just what I chose as. So Congrats to our top five.
13:28
Very exciting, great season. Looking forward to next year
13:33
with some of these guys, pictures that weren't shot this
13:35
year that they make it through, hopefully get them next year.
13:41
Yeah. And then also a new thing we've
13:43
been doing the last couple years is we threw everybody's names in
13:48
a hat that were outside of the top five that still got a deer,
13:52
whether it was a buck or a doll. And we roll the name and
13:55
somebody had multiple deer and they're like a Tony Culver was
13:58
the the big dope killer and he had a lot of chances, but he was
14:01
unfortunately not the winner of this draw.
14:04
And that one goes to Matt Rezba. So Congrats, Matt.
14:07
Matt steam fitter out of out of the De Pierre office.
14:10
I'm sure he'll be thrilled because I think the one he did
14:13
get that buck, I think he might be mounting.
14:14
That's all. That'll help with the tax return
14:16
me Bill. Congrats, Matt.
14:18
And then the other thing that was a newer thing we've been
14:20
doing the last couple years is anybody that did not get a deer.
14:23
So everybody goes in the in the hat that didn't get a deer.
14:26
And Dan Raybine, retired engineer, I want to say he's
14:30
down in like Nashville right now.
14:32
So he's probably going to need the extra 200 bucks after that
14:34
day, definitely. I I just want to publicly
14:38
apologize to Tony Culver. I as the names were being drawn,
14:42
I said if it's me, it's going to.
14:45
Tony did not. I tried.
14:47
Tony, I'm sorry. Nothing I could.
14:49
Nothing I can do about the wheel.
14:52
The wheel is heartless. The wheel has its own minds.
14:56
And then Tony, you want to talk about this year's new, new thing
14:59
we've been doing, which I thought was kind of a hit.
15:01
Yeah, got some. Stats on it.
15:02
We had our photo winners, so I'd sent out that I think there was
15:11
AI think there was 84 or 85 on there.
15:14
So as long as the person was in with their deer or someone in
15:19
with the deer, I should. Which is important, right?
15:21
Which? Is very important.
15:24
So as long as that happened and they were also part of the buck
15:30
pool, so, you know, tried to keep it narrowed down.
15:34
Like I said, there was between 80 and 85 that we had and
15:39
everybody got 2 votes and the winner by 9 votes was Ryan
15:46
Sussman for $100 Fleet Farm gift card from.
15:54
Chris Vanderloch, Quality Insulators.
15:57
Quality insulators, Yeah. So we'll get a post up about
16:01
that. And I did also want to bring up
16:06
honorable mentions. Couple votes behind Ryan, We had
16:12
Matt Zimdar's and Joe Kapla. Yeah.
16:17
Nice job. So a lot of cool pictures this
16:19
year. Yeah, we had 71 total votes or
16:25
entries I should say, because it would have been times 2.
16:28
So for first year doing it, figuring it out, I I call that a
16:34
win. And really kind of doing it on
16:36
the fly like you came up with that idea I would feel like at
16:38
the. End.
16:38
Yeah, it was. Well, we started talking about
16:42
it and then trying to figure out how it could be done.
16:46
You know, it's like it's hard, but at least I would I wanted it
16:51
to be that it we didn't know who was voting for who.
16:56
You got so many chances. It was deadline was last Friday,
17:01
so no. I appreciate you doing that.
17:03
I remember you brought it up and I was kind of like, well, I, I
17:05
don't really feel like doing it. And you're like, I'll take it,
17:07
I'll do it. And you did it.
17:09
That's what I'm here. For doing stuff and saying.
17:13
It's pretty cool. Another fun little aspect to our
17:15
little pool company wide. Yeah, I think it, you know,
17:19
gives everybody a chance to make sure that you're in the picture
17:25
or someone is. Put a face to a name type thing.
17:28
Yes. Or in Ryan Sussman's case, put
17:32
your kids faces to the name. Yeah.
17:34
And that one did go in. He was in another in another 1.
17:40
So I kind of took it upon myself to decide what picture went in.
17:47
So that's kind of my fault on that one.
17:51
But yeah, for the first year, it's good.
17:58
No, that's, I mean 71 people voting.
18:02
That's that's way more than I would have guessed.
18:05
Yes, definitely. I was surprised myself,
18:08
honestly. And it seemed like whenever a
18:13
reminder would go out, my e-mail would start Blick blinging and
18:21
binging and I'm like, all right, more people, so.
18:24
So yeah, awesome. Definitely do it again next.
18:29
Year, I'm also kind of surprised that somebody got as many as
18:31
nine votes because I thought this could be something where
18:34
it's a whole like, oh, 25 people tied with three votes.
18:38
Yeah. I mean, we had 9/2 with seven.
18:42
What was that? Four with six?
18:47
I mean, I like the fact you have two votes because everybody
18:48
could just come on here and vote for themselves.
18:50
You make it 2. So it's kind of, it's kind of
18:52
neat. Yeah.
18:52
Go back and see how many. It was quite a quite a
18:55
splattering of them, like I said, 9 and then to 765-4321 so.
19:03
I don't know if anybody was necessarily going for like a
19:05
funny picture or anything like that, but like I I'll just put
19:10
out there I, one of them I voted for was Nick Coles where he had
19:12
the deer and the. In the bucket.
19:15
I mean that was the post where I said nothing.
19:16
Runs like a deer in his vineyard.
19:18
Tractor. I'm like, I know there.
19:20
He's obviously not in it. It just cracked me up that this
19:23
is the This is the picture that. He but he was in it, and so was
19:27
his deer. Oh, I, I mean, yeah.
19:29
You know what I mean? You can't see his face.
19:31
So and it's it's a viewer's choice.
19:35
With two votes, Nick Cole gets one of my votes because I just
19:38
thought that one was funny. And again, viewer's choice.
19:41
It wasn't on, you know. There was no kind of.
19:45
Maybe the people that voted for Matt thought that was the best
19:48
deer and that it was just whatever anybody else thought or
19:55
wanted wanted to vote for so. Yeah, No, no kind of guidelines,
20:02
no. Nothing.
20:03
Pick your favorite picture. No, there weren't any with cats.
20:05
So apparently I didn't vote. I'm just kidding.
20:10
I did vote. But yeah.
20:13
So I guess that first year, yeah, it's a success.
20:18
Yeah. Awesome.
20:19
Add a little something different to it and.
20:22
See what else would you do today?
20:23
We did the big the big drawings for the last prizes.
20:28
We had some good ones this year. Jeff will get his desk back.
20:31
Yeah, they're still there. So yeah, if you see you guys
20:36
want try to arrange away, there's some prizes that have
20:39
been sitting there for quite a while yet, so maybe I'll give it
20:43
another week or two. If you're still there.
20:44
I'll just rewrite them. I'll just.
20:46
Or if there's any left that nobody picks up.
20:48
I mean I'll I'll as long as it's not hunting related.
20:52
Now, so we had some leftover prizes from vendors.
21:00
Did you write down who they they were from?
21:02
I didn't put the vendors down because yeah, but.
21:07
Watch the post, but the winners that we had a Yeti hopper, a
21:11
flip cooler, a lot of Yeti Yeti coolers this year, which is an
21:14
awesome prize win. It's a great cooler, very
21:16
expensive coolers. And inside this said cooler was
21:21
2 custom knives that I was talking to the vendor that did
21:25
this. He was up and this guy does it
21:27
at his garage. They're really nice, well made
21:28
knives. Yeah, very jealous.
21:31

21:34
One looked like it was like a like a skinny knife or something
21:37
for that gutting knife and another was a really nice filet
21:40
knife custom made. And the lucky winner for that
21:43
one was Tanner Schmidt, who was a plumber out of our Local 400
21:46
De Pere office. Have you ever watched Like a
21:48
Forge in Fire where they made? Knives.
21:50

21:53
forge. It was pretty cool.
21:54
They're beautiful, yeah. I love watching.
21:56
Yeah, me too. I couldn't do it, but I love
21:59
watching it. So Congrats, Tanner.

25:53
Great. Prize.
25:55
Blackstone Griddle, Yeah, if I'm not mistaken.
25:59
What is it? A. 20 inch, 22 inch Blackstone
26:01
griddle. But it's on a stand, very nice
26:04
stand with wheels, so you can wheel it around real nice for a
26:07
lot of trips that Greg Blazer likes to go on because he won
26:11
this thing. He can bring it along and do his
26:13
pheasant hunts and whatnot. Nice.
26:17
Job another he's a retired pipe fitter, steam fitter from 400
26:21
from the De Pere location. So Congrats, Greg, it's awesome.
26:25
Can I can I tell a quick story about a Blackstone griddle?
26:28
It has nothing to do with any of this, but I'm going to say it
26:30
anyway. I won one last year.
26:32
I went to some town up north. I can't even remember.
26:36
They have a hunting club. My uncle Dave, who his name has
26:38
come up in this podcast before, invited me to go along with him.
26:41
It was in Searing. So I'll just say the Searing
26:44
Hunting Club, something like that.
26:47
And I won one of these Blackstone griddles and I was
26:50
like, what am I going to do? I don't know.
26:52
So I sold it to a dude there for 150 bucks, like, and I got home
26:59
and my daughter works at Bay Beach in the the, the little
27:03
trailer outside of the Zip and Pippen where you can buy food
27:06
and she makes Philly cheese steaks and all kind of stuff on
27:10
a griddle all day. And she's like, Dad, why'd you
27:13
get rid of that? I could have made Philly cheese
27:14
steaks for everybody. I was like, damn it.
27:16
Oh, they're awesome to have. Like if you're a breakfast guy,
27:18
I mean, you can put. I don't have to make.
27:20
Yeah, yeah. I mean, they're awesome to to
27:23
have, especially with one on wheels with it.
27:25
It's got a nice cover on it. So I'm sure Greg is going to
27:28
love this thing. That's I can tell you I own a
27:31
Blackstone griddle from what was it 3 years ago, our picnic.
27:39
Yeah, that I won. It may or may not still be in
27:43
the box. Would you looking to sell it?
27:45
Cause in Biker Roch, Bubba says I can't sell it, can't sell that
27:49
grill. Well, I'm like, are you going to
27:52
put it together then? I guess I have somebody in my
27:54
house who knows how to use it, and it's really mad that I sold
27:57
mine. So that's crazy.
27:58
Sorry, Phoebes. All right, past the Blackstone
28:03
griddle we have a paddle board and I'm pretty sure this person
28:09
could wear his flip flops on. Inflatable, right?
28:11
It's an inflatable one. It's nice.
28:13
So yeah, these last couple of prizes, I'm going back to the
28:16
binoculars. This is half the money you guys
28:19
donate or pitch in for this thing.
28:21
I go shopping in the air and get a bunch of nice prizes.
28:23
This is one of them. I won one of these and some of
28:27
the Ralph at one time and brought it up north on the lake
28:29
and I absolutely love it. My wife and daughter love it.
28:32
I'm sure Toby's family is going to get a lot of uses.
28:34
I think they might be in water up by his place up in Merrill.
28:36
I don't think we had said his name until just it was.
28:38
Toby no, I just Toby gets won this.
28:40
Congrats, Toby. Sorry I.
28:41
Decided he could wear his flip flops.
28:42
Yeah, yeah. Another big contributor to the
28:45
buck pool. He always, he's always sending
28:47
stuff in him and his wife. And his kids.
28:50
Congrats, Toby. It's.
28:51
A nice paddle board. Yeah, yeah, the family will love
28:53
that. Yeah, another prize.
28:56
I went out and bought the big hit last year.
28:58
Here's one the High Boy E bike. Yeah, these are awesome for not
29:06
sure if everybody's into the going on state land, public
29:09
land, If you have trails on your own land, these are really nice
29:12
tools to go in without walking, not spreading your scent all
29:16
over the place. You take your E bike in there,
29:19
big fat tires. Silent.
29:21
Silent but deadly. Not that anybody's fast, there
29:26
might be not even a mile on them yet.
29:29
But. Yeah, we kind of test them out
29:31
and well, no, we didn't. There.
29:33
Might be some. There might be some blackies on
29:36
the carpet. Yeah, No, there's not.
29:39
Yeah, they're a big hit. Everybody wants to win one of
29:41
these. They're very nice.
29:42
This lucky winner is. Adam frowned.
29:45
Friend Frund, I'm sure. How you say his last name?
29:48
F. REUNDI don't know how to say it
29:52
either. Friend and he is a fourth year
29:55
steam fitter from the de Pir slash Wrightstown location.
29:59
Congrats, Adam. Way to go it's.
30:01
An awesome prize. And then?
30:04
And I, I stepped it up this year.
30:05
So you know, everybody talked about that last year.
30:08
What I think would be really cool is to be able to go into
30:10
your stand and not really have to sit and get Jarred around you
30:12
kind of stand on it. So the last one is the high Boy
30:17
E scooter. Fat tired E scooter.
30:20
I did have my name on it, but apparently that's not how you
30:24
win. So our lucky winner for that
30:28
one. Is I don't know.
30:30
How do you say it? Is it Luis Luis Lopez?
30:32
Luis Lopez. Where'd that go, Luis?
30:35
I'm sure he's going to get some good use out of that.
30:38
It's got a nice big platform to stand on.
30:39
You can see there's also a seat. And it's got a, it's got a
30:42
basket. On the floor you can get mounts
30:44
for it and put outer things on the back.
30:46
It's got a real nice big seat. Pretty jealous, I'm actually
30:49
probably going to go buy one of these myself.
30:50
Check out the website, it's amazing.
30:52
Like we'll have a picture up there.
30:55
They both have phone holders on them too.
30:57
Yeah, I mean. I could have.
31:00
Written to work on it, not that I would.
31:03
His position he wrote down a sheet metal out of Rapids.
31:07
Awesome. Nice.
31:09
And he actually had a deer this year too, so.
31:11
Congrats Lewis, that is a enjoy amazing prize.
31:15
I'm jealous. Yeah, there's a lot of jealous
31:17
guys around here, Yeah. Even the non.
31:19
Hunters can be jealous of the E bike.
31:21
Yeah, I try to mix it up with people that don't hunt that.
31:23
I mean, everybody can use this type of stuff.
31:26
So if anybody has any suggestions for next year for
31:29
prizes at the end, let me know. That'd be great because it is
31:32
hard to go shopping. I'm going to just go to
31:35
Appleton. A lot of stuff that Shields and
31:36
the stuff I did online, it's I like the E bikes and stuff.
31:39
If you guys don't like them, let me know.
31:41
But I think a lot of guys would like to have one of that.
31:43
I like that you doubled down on the E vehicle this year.
31:50
Now. The E thing.
31:51
I have an incredibly steep hill to my stand and I would love to
31:55
see if one of those things could get up that hill without me just
31:58
flying off the back. Oh yeah.
32:01
You know what, I always thought to really up the ante, I don't
32:04
know how many people would throw in 100 bucks to this thing and
32:06
we can get some real kick ass prizes at the end of the year.
32:09
I mean, you're talking oil Wheelers and ATVs and I don't
32:13
know if. That's.
32:15
To pull it off, but. That's for the Ritchies.
32:17
And I'm yeah. Right.
32:18
I don't know a lot of guys. Would listen for what you're
32:19
getting honestly. It's 20 bucks, Yeah.
32:24
You get 2 prizes, the prizes and a chance to win all these
32:26
prizes. Are the prizes we get are
32:28
already basically worth 40 bucks at least?
32:31
Yeah, usually the hat alone is $20.00 for sure.
32:36
Then this year what do we give out that can koozie thing?
32:39
Which? I use at my desk all the time.
32:41
I did get a lot of feedback. I mean, I got the hats, I like
32:45
the color scheme and stuff, but I didn't like the hat itself.
32:47
So I'll try to work on that. If you guys got any suggestions
32:49
what to do next year, please reach out to me and let me know.
32:52
Maybe I'll have some different ideas.
32:53
I just try to get prizes that everybody can use, which a hat
32:57
everybody likes to wear a lot. Although some guys don't wear
32:59
hats and they let me know. You know, I sent you a few.
33:03
Yeah, you know why I don't? Because they don't fit me.
33:05
Actually in your big noggin. Ridiculous stupid head is too
33:09
big. Yeah, that's a you problem.
33:12
It is and I hate it because I love wearing hats with this.
33:15
Dumb. I like to do like a hoodie, A
33:17
hoodie sweatshirt. I guess we could do that and you
33:19
can when you sign up, you give me your size that could be
33:21
helpful or different things. I don't know.
33:23
We'll we'll talk it over in between seasons here and see.
33:26
Yeah, I think I sent you a couple of like winter type hats
33:29
with they were bright orange fuzzy flaps.
33:33
Sure. Like a Cousin Eddie hat.
33:38
Oh, like that type of hat, like a stormy chromer.
33:39
Maybe we can get some custom made stormy chromers.
33:42
They are pretty expensive, so there's only a certain amount of
33:45
money that I can get with these prizes to make everything work
33:47
so that it's kind of easy to do a hat and something smaller.
33:50
But. Like I said, I, I think if you
33:52
end up doing it where it goes up a little, you know, just maybe
33:57
an increase. If everybody doesn't want that,
34:00
we could just throw all the money right into the prizes at
34:02
the end, so whatever. I'll say you've done an awesome
34:06
job with it up till now. And shout out to Shelly Murphy
34:10
also. I know.
34:10
Shelly helping out with stuff and tweet Garrett itself for
34:13
letting us do this. And they do chip in, yes.
34:16
Yes. For all these prizes and stuff.
34:18
So actually that's that's coming from tweet, so.
34:21
I hate to say it. Can you remind me what was the
34:23
hat we got this year? The green camel hat.
34:26
The R Oh, that's right. It had the R on the top.
34:29
So yeah, I've done color schemes, I've done orange, done
34:34
green, I've done black, I've done white.
34:36
Yep, I like the one you're wearing.
34:37
Yeah, this has been the biggest hit, the white hat that we've
34:40
been a couple years done. Can't see this, have no idea
34:43
what. I'm yeah, right, I don't have.
34:44
That, but everybody knows what it is.
34:46
It was a cool hat. I like the actual style of the
34:48
hat too. Audio medium.
34:49
I'm going to say nice hat. And I think but we don't like
34:55
the logo on the side or something.
34:57
Certain people didn't like it, some people love it.
35:00
I like it. Can't make everybody happy.
35:02
I've learned that through life. We had the Black Hat with the
35:05
like bright green or. No.
35:07
Was it Gray? Wasn't it?
35:08
Or dark. It was like dark Gray black
35:10
camel. OK, I like that one.
35:13
Yeah, as. Well, that was a cool hat too.
35:14
None of them fit me but I like them.
35:16
Big thumbs up. Yeah.
35:19
Any suggestions? Feel free to reach out, text me,
35:22
e-mail me, call me, go to a bar and talk about it.
35:25
That'd be great. Or next week.
35:29
Yeah or yeah, come to the Buck pool party next.
35:31
Week Segway Ton. I know where the.
35:33
Applause button was on here. I would hit.
35:35
It yeah, that. Was perfect.
35:36
Yep, and that's another thing Tweak Gear likes to put on for
35:39
us at the end of the year. I chip in a little bit with some
35:42
of the leftover money that we have for some of the
35:45
refreshments. Nice.
35:48
I got to give a little shout out to Corey Schoenberg.
35:50
He's the one that designed this flyer.
35:52
I'm glad. I love the beer.
35:53
I got a feeling ChatGPT did the heavy.
35:55
Lifting. Well, come on, what day and age
35:59
are we in? It's a beautiful shame that.
36:02
Is a shame that. That's.
36:04
A. You worked on it for a good 5
36:05
minutes. It's amazing how.
36:07
He got it to spell everything correctly.
36:09
We had to edit it a little bit and just kind of type it back
36:11
and it comes back. I didn't notice that second V in
36:14
Vander Vest is a little questionable, but other than
36:16
that, yeah, I mean, amazing work.
36:18
So a nice shout out to Vander Vest, Harley-Davidson.
36:21
It's a nice centralized location for around where we're at over
36:24
by the De Pere location. And right off the highway.
36:27
Right off the highway, there's a lot of people from, let's just
36:30
say the Kewanee County slash O'Connell Marinette County.
36:34
It's right centralized, located in between all that for all of
36:36
our employees. But easy to locate from any of
36:39

37:02
Stay at your house, Sure, even though my house.
37:06
Is hey, 20 minutes? How about this, If there's
37:07
enough people will take a bus, a shuttle, nobody has to drive.
37:13
We've already got that part covered on our.
37:16
End yes. And that is a thing that tweet
37:18
does put on and Vanderbilt helps us coordinate it.
37:21
We're going to have, I think brats and other various foods
37:25
and then refreshments also Gus's Guns is also coming over.
37:30
They're going to bring an assortment of firearms
37:33
assortment and we're going to have nice rifles.
37:36
I think last year we did guns, I think 6 or 670.
37:40
No. Damn it, now I need to edit
37:43
something on here like that. No, I want to say 5 now.
37:49
So that was nice that they did that.
37:50
I think we did. How the hell did we do it?
37:52
Last year they they sold a deck of cards.
37:53
It's either $5 a card or $10 a card depending on the on the the
37:58
price the price. Of the gun.
37:59
Of the gun so that was pretty cool that they did that.
38:02
Did they like? RIP them in half and then pick.
38:05
Them half just like any other half, everybody goes to which
38:09
was fun. So if you're listening to this
38:11
and you have an RSVP DI do last year, I want to say that I was
38:15
pushing 100 guys that came to 100 people that came to it.
38:18
Right now we're only sitting at 37, so I know a lot of people
38:22
don't see these things or forget to reply to them.
38:24
I'll I'll send another reminder via e-mail that you that I send
38:27
you guys a lot. So yeah, I'm excited for that.
38:32
It's a good time, a lot of good turn, a good turn out last year.
38:34
I'll try to bring the video thing I made-up, maybe the all
38:36
time list thing we can everybody can scour through.
38:40
I'm actually showing up this year.
38:42
IRSVPD right now as. Jeff was talking Charlie.
38:46
I don't know when I'll be able to make it, but I'll.
38:48
I hope you do. Be there.
38:49
I mean I will be there at some point.
38:53
I'm not breaking out into song when you say that.
38:55
Again, do a live podcast from the It's a.
38:59
Terrible idea. It's a terrible.
39:00
Idea. Not only is it a terrible idea
39:03
nobody would listen to, No. Yeah, everybody would listen to
39:07
it. We could interview people as.
39:09
Yeah, it's just like. How extra that That would be
39:11
fun, kind of, but sure, if you want to do it, go ahead.
39:16
I don't want to. Talk to me while.
39:18
Going to be there at some point before or after.
39:23
I'll show up on my little portable podcast shit and stuff
39:26
and yeah. Yeah.
39:28
So to finish the details on that, that is February 5th
39:33
starting at 4:30 and until 8:30 it'll go.
39:35
So we got 4 hours there to hoot and holler all of our deer
39:40
stories and just catch up, meet people you have never met
39:43
before. It's a good good time.
39:45
I'm looking for a lot of fun. Do we?
39:48
Are there name tags involved in this?
39:49
No. I don't think I did name tags
39:51
last year but OK. Not the worst idea.
39:54
It's not a bad. Idea, Well, I'm just figuring if
39:57
like, OK, if you see a gal there, people listening, just
40:03
walk up and say are you Tanya 'cause I don't know who all
40:06
these people. Are.
40:07
There you go, Tanya. Actually, I'll see a.
40:09
Gal there. Well, I'm just.
40:11
Saying, why don't you make some name tags, some things that
40:13
people can write them down? Do we have those here?
40:15
I think I have like I don't know how.
40:17
Many good idea, but we'll bring them with.
40:18
If you see a gal there, there's a one in four chance it's Tanya.
40:22
That is true because there are four of us that have RSVP D so.
40:27
Far another kind of nice little thing too.
40:28
There are some vendors that that do come to this and they'll
40:31
they'll bring stuff too to raffle off.
40:33
So there's there's chances to win stuff, just fun little
40:35
things at the end of the year and then you can possibly win
40:38
some guns from Gussie's guns. Thanks Andrew Gussert for
40:42
setting that up for me. His dad owns the place.
40:45
So I. Didn't know that was the
40:46
connection. Yep, there's a connection, a lot
40:49
of connections that tweet here. There are a lot.
40:54
So if anybody else wants to come and they're part of something, I
40:56
know Larry Robin Horse, I believe brings over some of his
40:58
mineral. He's another guy.
41:00
He's that he's donated a lot through it.
41:02
I want. To meet and talk to him.
41:03
Yeah, because I'm, I'm rejoining deer hunting.
41:06
This year, well, he's the guy to talk to a.
41:09
Couple of years off. So yeah, I want to hit Larry up
41:12
on some sure, some of his mixture, formula, whatever
41:16
magic. Is owner.
41:18
Oh, that's OK. Yeah, Legend, Legend, Legendary
41:20
minerals. Legends minerals, I believe he
41:22
calls it. Another shout out to you, Larry.
41:25
Thanks for everything you do. Yeah.
41:27
I'm gonna put that out. Let's keep it in the buck pool.
41:30
Well, everybody here in tweet usually knows.
41:32
They know who Larry is. He's one of our truck drivers if
41:35
he gets around. Awesome.
41:38
So yeah, I'm excited for it. That was another great season.
41:40
I appreciate everybody's help with all this and.
41:43
I think I speak for everybody when I say we appreciate your
41:46
the insane amount of work that you put.
41:48
In there both of you guys helped a lot too, so I appreciate it.
41:52
We try guys at the shop making the plaques and everything else,
41:55
so hopefully I'll have them done by next Thursday.
41:59
If they're not, it's my bad. I just told them today, so it if
42:01
they do pull it off, which they, I won't be surprised if they do
42:03
because they're pretty quick over there.
42:04
Yeah. It depends on what they got
42:06
going. On my fault, part of the reason
42:08
was that there was some stragglers bringing their deer
42:09
into just certain situations. Like Mike Paulson's dad.
42:13
His was a nice deer too, 137 he just missed the top five.
42:15
So I couldn't get them printed until or whatever sent in before
42:19
I knew. Yeah.
42:22
Anyways, so I appreciate it everybody.
42:24
Looking forward to next year. Also Little Segway here us going
42:30
into the summer, right Spring and summer.
42:33
The dates for the TG Walleye Tour tournament have been posted
42:40
actually out on Big Blue. I have not put them out on
42:45
outside TG yet. I.
42:47
Did. You did awesome because.
42:49
With another AI picture to go with it.
42:51
That's. Yeah, this is a huge thing, you
42:54
guys, all the work that goes into this website, there is a
42:56
lot of shit on here to look through and it's really cool to
42:59
go through. I mean, we're talking about
43:01
doing other things, add on to this for other tabs that other
43:04
things to get involved with. But there's a lot of stuff
43:06
behind the scenes that goes on with this.
43:08
So please, if you're not computer literate, it's not just
43:11
dabble through it. You can't mess it up.
43:13
Click on the links, go through it and there's a lot of shit on
43:16
there to read and. Passed too, you know.
43:19
So this will be. Next year will be 10 years.
43:22
Second year for the tournament as Walleye tournament as far as
43:27
statewide. I don't fish and I think I'm
43:30
going to try to get in this year.
43:32
This looks like a lot of fun. So anybody listening that's
43:34
going to be doing any of these tournaments, it you don't,
43:40
there's not a limit to the number of people in a boat.
43:43
In a boat, OK, I don't fish, but I talk.
43:49
But I want to be in a boat. I want to be in a.
43:52
You're going. With this, you want to get in a
43:54
boat. I want to be in a boat or a
43:56
pontoon with a few of us. That's.
43:59
Even like I want to throw this out there live podcast, Yes, on
44:04
one of the boats. Yeah, we're looking at Saturday,
44:07
April 25th for Lake Pet, pet, pet pet Peaton.
44:12
Well, Saturday the 27th that is Rapids.
44:19
Yep, lake was soda. Saturday, June 27th.
44:24
That one where is near Altoona. Altoona, Saturday, August 15th.
44:30
This was a hard one to say. Green Bay.
44:33
It's. Pronounced green or in Troy
44:36
Aikman, Green Bay. Grand Bay.
44:39
Grand Grand Baugh. Not Green Bay.
44:42
Green Bay. Green Bay.
44:44
And the other one is Saturday, September 12th at Lake Nakomis
44:49
Nikomis. Nikomis Yeah, I.
44:51
Really butchered that one last year.
44:53
So and that one's by I might have done it.
44:55
Again, tomahawk. Tomahawk.
44:56
Yep. So just a little little bit to
45:00
get get out there about that. Shout out to.
45:04
Jim. Jim Bittor, Tanner, Tanner by
45:07
the guys that kind of had this up.
45:08
So that's a lot of work putting this on.
45:11
So more to come on that. You know what I was just
45:13
thinking we just acquired some place in Traverse City, another
45:20
location. There's another opportunity.
45:23
This is going to grow even bigger.
45:25
So I got to, I got to, I got to get those guys involved with
45:27
this. We could go fishing down in
45:29
Arizona. We have a place down there.
45:30
We should other one that. Could can we can would it be can
45:34
If we had to do a podcast on like a fishing tournament or
45:39
something down there, then we could get paid to go there.
45:43
I'm sure it works. Something for a friend.
45:45
Sure, I know even less about fishing than I do about deer
45:49
hunting, so this would be a really informative podcast.
45:52
I I know what a pole is, a pole IA.
45:56
Rod. Rod in the pole or the same I
46:00
know. This my brother's a fisherman,
46:02
and if you heard you say pole, he would.
46:04
He decked me, yeah. Yeah, you'd have a problem.
46:07
It has been several years, probably since I was about 7, so
46:11
yeah. My brother-in-law Brett Hornseth
46:14
says pull in front of my brother intentionally as often as
46:17
possible. Not Brett Come.
46:19
On as often as possible. So yeah, I just thought of that.
46:22
No, with the other locations we tweak here, it's growing, which
46:26
is great. Traverse City, that's probably a
46:30
lot of good fishermen over there.
46:31
A lot of a lot of good deer hunters too.
46:32
I mean, that's, I think there's some good deer with that.
46:36
It's the infamous romp of the buck that was from Traverse
46:38
City. Record numbers next year again.
46:41
Probably numbers, maybe. I don't know, especially if you
46:43
up it to 100 bucks, yeah. No, I don't think that's going
46:47
to happen. We'll keep it small and fun.
46:50
I always, I, I don't know how to say, Trevor, let's do it.
46:54
That way Traverse City. Traverse.
46:57
Traverse. Traverse, traverse.
46:58
Traverse City. I'll learn though.
47:01
I will. I learned how to say tomahawk.
47:03
I'll have to get in contract with.
47:05
Them well, I yeah, I could, but. Jeff's trying to say real things
47:09
right now while. You.
47:10
I'm sorry. It's OK.
47:11
Go ahead, Jeff. No, that's about it.
47:13
I'll have to get them involved. I'm not even sure how big, how
47:16
many people are over there I don't know anything about.
47:18
It I think it's a huge opera. I want to say it's like 20.
47:20
OK, that's what I but. It could be 200.
47:23
I I feel like I heard 20. Yeah.
47:26
So great to have you guys and hopefully get you guys involved
47:28
next year if you're listening. Yeah.
47:30
And that might just be office or might be, yeah, not sure.
47:33
Because we did have some people sign up from Arizona this year
47:37
from from a Phoenix thing. Remember, you don't have to
47:40
hunt. Just be part of it, part of the
47:42
fun winner prize. Hunt and I'm on the podcast.
47:46
I'd like to think I hunt but I haven't the last two years so.
47:50
Or not, that's all I got. No basketball tournament to go
47:53
to in California this year, so I'm in.
47:56
Well, score. So stay tuned for the website.
48:00
There's we have to keep on it better.
48:02
We have to work on a little harder, but that's where you get
48:04
all your information. And I'll send out emails just to
48:07
give you guys some reminders and stuff, but always follow through
48:10
it. It's good reading, a lot of good
48:11
stories in there and go back and next year will be 10 years doing
48:14
this. I've.
48:16
How many were in the first year? I want to say that it started
48:19
with like 26 and it's blown up to over 300 now, 300.
48:24
Three, I thought it was even smaller than.
48:26
That let me look, I'll look once I'll go on the website and look
48:30
past results go to it's back to 2017 was the initial.
48:35
Yeah, that's quite some information. 111213141516.
48:38
We should make a special logo for Buck tool.
48:40
Buck Tool. Buck Pool 10th year.
48:44
Because it's like anniversary. 34. 34 Wow.
48:50

49:05
Oh, back in the day in the shop, there absolutely was.
49:08
A. Buck pool that I remember
49:09
getting in, but it was just like a send in your picture and it
49:13
really like there were no measurements or anything.
49:14
It was just like you need proof of the picture and whoever had
49:17

49:51
putting up next week. And you don't have to have a
49:54
tweet gear at sign in to do this.
49:57
It's all outside. Just outside TG.
49:58
Outside tg.com. Go out on a web browser outside
50:04
TG. Listen to this.

They they reached out and said they'd like to talk about some
50:16
things. Awesome.
50:18
Yeah. I want to get more.
50:19
Which has been stagnant. It died off.
50:21
There are some really cool stories that that are in there
50:24
right now last. Year we didn't get any outside
50:27
TG podcasts in. No straight from.
50:31
Unless you consider the the fishing tournament, which is not
50:34
you know. Well, that one, but but we did
50:37
it during the buck pool. No, we didn't.
50:40
We did it separate when we actually just getting it kicked
50:44
off. Right.
50:45
I just mean during from from the end of the last buck pool to the
50:50
beginning of this season's, there was nothing.
50:53
Yes. Whereas the year before, like we
50:55
had some fun. Yeah, Pete Ulmer sticks out in
51:01
my mind. That was fun.
51:02
Yeah, Falcon Frank with his Falcon Frank also with the honey
51:07
bee. And Jason Labine with the honey
51:09
bees. Mike, Partner.
51:11
Yeah, yeah, partner with his fishing trips off to Canada
51:13
we're. Going to strum that up.
51:16
Yeah, just ones I can think about the top of my head.
51:18
There's more. Stuff that people do outside TG.
51:22
That's why yeah, mine would just be like cracked A.
51:25
Beard sure what I'm watching on Netflix.
51:28
Yeah, Netflix and Chill Tiny does that.
51:31
Really. Well, oh boy.
51:32

51:40
yeah. I am building a a book nook,
51:45
yeah. All right, that pulled it back
51:47
nicely from Netflix. And chill.
51:50
And then you bring it up again. That's.
51:52
That was intense. I think we're on.
51:54
Here. All right, we're trying to keep
51:55
this around an hour. We're at about an hour ish.
51:59
